Always wash your hands thoroughly before and after applying Androgel. This prevents contamination and ensures the best absorption.
Using a cotton swab to apply Androgel isn’t recommended. The cotton fibers can absorb a significant portion of the gel, reducing its effectiveness. It’s better to use your fingertips.
If you accidentally get Androgel on a cotton swab, discard the swab immediately. Do not reuse it.
Applying Androgel to Specific Areas
For larger areas, apply a thin layer using your fingertips, ensuring even distribution. Smaller areas might require a smaller amount, adjusted according to your doctor’s instructions.
After application, allow the gel to dry completely before dressing or engaging in activities that may rub against the application area. This minimizes the risk of transfer to others and ensures optimal absorption.
Cleaning Up Spills
Should you spill Androgel, clean it up immediately with soap and water. Ensure thorough cleaning to prevent accidental contact or transfer.
If Androgel contacts other surfaces, such as clothing, wash thoroughly with soap and water. Air dry the affected area completely.
Storage and Disposal
Store Androgel according to the instructions on the package. Dispose of used applicators and any excess Androgel properly, following local regulations.
